Swimming lessons

Our YMCA Swimming Lesson program is committed to providing each child and adult with the opportunity to make safe aquatic choices, participate in a range of aquatic experiences and become a confident swimmer who is inspired to participate in aquatic activities throughout their life.

Research conducted by Griffith University (2013) reported that children who participate in swimming lessons were developmentally ahead of the norm in physical skills, cognitive skills, mathematics, language development, counting and the ability to follow instructions.

The YMCA is the largest provider of swimming lessons in Victoria and provides students with a curriculum that focusses on essential water safety as well as stroke development.
